This is the genuine shearling vest modeled after the bomber jackets worn by World War I aviators. Designed by a fifth-generation family firm that was founded by an army veteran, the rugged sheepskin leather exterior and plush interior is warm enough to protect against a cold slipstream in an open-cockpit. Tanned and tailored by British craftsmen, the durable shearling is more insulating than down without the attendant bulk, so it is an ideal fabric for active outdoor activities from fall through spring. The collar is lined with thick fleece for an additional barrier against wind and heat loss, while the vest's relaxed fit and wide armholes make it easy to slip over a flannel shirt or sweater. The front is accented with a two-way brass zipper and two slash pockets that can hold flight maps or a passport. (2 1/2 lbs.)

Could not find this product in women's wear so I took a chance on a men's vest and it is amazing! Fits perfectly and I will use it on our houseboat this fall when the wind is blowing in from the Gulf but I still need my hands free to navigate. Well made. Bravo!

I love shearling garments. I have a bomber jacket, shoes, boots, hat. As I wanted a vest (for versatility), I was very excited to see this one on the yearly sale, & immediately ordered it. I wish it were a touch thicker (the shearling lining). Other than that, I love it so far...

This is used both as a middle layer outside, and as an outer layer in a cool workplace. Warmer and more "breathing" than synthetic fleeces, with a look that is distinctive! It does feel a little big and expect over time that it will continue to wear softer all the time.
